Concealment of assets by strangers

§ 20–1503. Concealment of assets by strangersWhen an executor, administrator, or collector believes that a person is concealing any part of Ills decedent’s estate, he may file a petition in the court alleging the concealment, and the court may compel an answer thereto on oath. When the court is satisfied, upon an examination of the whole case, that the party charged has concealed any part of the estate of the deceased, it may order the delivery thereof to the executor, administrator, or collector, and may enforce obedience to the order in the same manner in which orders of the court may be enforced.
